I bought now because I wanted to experience the M3 at it's peak. It's most perfect form as a racecar daily driver. Sure the new one will be faster, more powerful, have slightly better fuel economy, be more gadgety, but it won't feel like a thoroughbred driver's car. I'm sure it will be excellent, but I wanted the last hoorah gas guzzler V8 F1 inspired engine. I'll be driving this one for years to come.
